Wow! The Eclipse C/C++ IDE, including the Linux variant, has passed 750,000 downloads for Indigo SR-1, in only 4 months.

Hey all. This blog records my thoughts of the day about my life on the Eclipse CDT project. I will occasionally give opinions and news regarding the Eclipse CDT - the project and its ecosystem - and on open source in general. Please feel free to comment on anything I say. I appreciate it when people are honest with me. And, please, please, consider all of these opinions mine, not of my employer.
Do you have any plan to integrate Clang's auto-complete, code-navigation and or static analysis into Eclipse CDT?
ReplyDeleteThere's been discussion about that but no one has stepped up to work on it.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a nice project to do for the coming Google Summer of Code.
ReplyDeleteWill it be in conflict with Codan (Slideshare) from GSoC 2011?
Doug, I'm a long time CDT user and internal evangelist. I gotta say what a great job you and the whole team have done on the CDT. I use the "stock" installation via Ubuntu's apt repository -- I imagine all those of who use it that way aren't even reported in the the number you're reporting above! I know there's a number of my coworkers that I have brought over from the dark side of emacs, gedit, etc. and none of us are using it via the "official" eclipse download or update site(s).
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I just wanted to say again what a fabulous job you guys have done. While the indexer seems to have taken a bit of a hit in how well it indexes our very large source tree in this Indigo release (at least compared to Galileo - I get a lot of spurious bug symbols even though the build works just fine), I just solved in about half an hour what would've easily taken me a day or two, thanks to the *beautiful* multi-faceted gdb debugger integration improvements. Wow! Thanks for that! And I perpetually enjoy blowing my colleagues' minds as they watch me rename things throughout our source tree so easily! And I still can't believe how easy it is to integrate into custom build systems -- doesn't matter if its driven by scons, make, waf, etc -- eclipse will happily index it given a little project properties tweaking. Awesome!
Kudos and good on you and the team! PLEASE keep up the good work!
Regards,
Patrick
